Tony is a wrecking ball enthusiast. He loves nothing more than to show everyone his creations in the form of different kinds of wrecking balls. The Arena never actually informed Tony of any fighting. Just that there were individuals interested in seeing what his equipment could do. Naturally, as he shows off each of his wrecking balls, they are promptly destroyed by the teams trying to survive against them. This angers Tony greatly, and he flies into a blind rage whenever people destroy his property. He has quite a big bark but little bite; as for all the rage inside him, there is still one undeniable fact. He is small. He doesn't let that stop him from making a huge impact with his demolition abilities though. Anyone that has ever had something to say about Tony's size typically also had something to say about not wanting to be crushed by a giant wrecking ball.

At one point, Tony was the first candidate to join Bates' Construction Crew many years ago. The arrangement worked quite well when before long, Tony would become too enthralled with using the wrecking ball, and in the cover of night, he took the crew's only wrecking ball and was never seen or heard from again until now. The Arena, utilizing its state of the art background checking technology, were able to find Tony as a suitable individual to place into the Boss Gauntlet, through careful consideration and review of Bates' personal file in particular. After we were informed of Tony's existence through Bates' Daughter Cate, who works for the Arena. She recalled her father once telling her stories of a "crazed lunatic with the wrecking ball", and the Arena felt quite compelled to contact him.

Tony himself confirms that he has spent the years since disappearing working on three brand new wrecking balls based on the first one he stole, that he is more than happy to show off. He only asked of course for the Arena to ensure that no one from the staff interfered with his demos. The request was accepted, seeing how the Arena does not consider its combatants as staff directly, despite the accommodations and payments they do receive. After the battles, he will often complain of his wrecking balls being destroyed repeatedly to which officials will simply state that they cannot control the actions of those outside the staff who don't appreciate his work. Tony then launches into a string of profanities and mean words.
